The tables are meant to accommodate increasing demands of medical staff: from surgeons who are using new techniques in minimally invasive surgery to operating-room managers who need to increase their staff’s productivity, Bill O’Riordan, vice president and general manager the company’s surgical business unit, said in a release (pdf).
At the top of the new line is the Steris 5085 SRT, a general surgical table that slides, rotates and transports a patient with one caregiver. Other tables require at least two people to move a patient. This table is awaiting Food and Drug Administration approval and is not yet being sold in the United States.
The Steris 5085 General Surgical Table has a wide range of height, weight-bearing and slide adjustments to accommodate imaging technologies or caregiver ergonomics. It also can be updated to function like the top-of-the-line 5085 SRT.
The Steris 5085 Surgical Table has sliding and weight-bearing capabilities, as well as easy-to-use hand controls for adjusting the table.
